Art, there appears to be three draft directives: The WEEE, to which you
refer, address the proper disposal of equipment. And there is the one on
heavy metals and other toxic items to which you refer. The third, the EEE
Directive, addresses the environmental design of equipment. A meeting was
held with stakeholders on 6 March to discuss the new draft. I heard that the
revised draft removes the requirement of a new conformity symbol (it refers
to the CE symbol) and deletes suppliers from the law. However, it would
require suppliers to provide necessary information. Companies would have to
have an internal design control or an environmental assurance system in
place.

Subject: Re: 3rd draft proposed EEE Directive
Hello Richard,
The proposal, I believe, is well beyond the 3rd Draft Stage. It was
published in the Official Journal on 19 DEC 2000 as the Proposal for a
Directive of the European Parliment and of the Council on waste electrical
and electronic equipment. The citation is: 2000/C 365 E/12. I believe it
is no longer available at the free site (Eur-Lex) since it is more than
45 days since it was published.
On that same date they also issued a proposal for a Directive of the
European Parliment and of the Council on the restriction and use of
certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment
(2000/C 365 E/13) which is probably of interest as well.

I understand that the Commission has issued the 3rd draft of the proposed
directive on Impact on the Environment of Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (EEE), but I can't find it on their web site. Does anyone have a
copy or know where to find it?
